One of Bangkok’s largest charitable gastronomic events –Eat Drink Pink – returns to The Peninsula Bangkok on October 1 to raise funds for the world-leading Pink Park Village and the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer Foundation.

Eat Drink Pink will enable guests to enjoy signature dishes, drinks and snacks in a delightful ambience by the river.

The second Eat Drink Pink event in October 2015 featured a charitable raffle with memorable prizes, including stays at The Peninsula hotels worldwide, and raised more than Bt1.2 million for the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer, while the third Eat Drink Pink in November 2017 raised more than Bt1 million.

Under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen, the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer provides breast cancer diagnosis and treatment for underprivileged breast cancer patients from across Thailand. Her Majesty has described the centre as “a sanctuary for women in Thailand”. The Peninsula Bangkok is a long-time supporter of the Centre and its world-leading Pink Park Village in Bangkok, which is the world’s first non-profit holistic care and diagnostic centre and offers a hospice and convalescence home and a day-care and activity centre for breast cancer patients. Founded by Dr Kris Chatamra, The Pink Park Village is scheduled to partially open in October.

Tickets for Eat Drink Pink 2018 are priced at Bt3,000 per person. All proceeds will be donated to the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer Foundation to support Pink Park Village.
